September is National Coupon Month and this makes it a great month to get started with couponing or get back on the bandwagon. I will admit, I have been slacking off using coupons over the past summer. Now is great time to renew your commitment to couponing. Don’t want to clip paper coupons? While you will still find around 50% of coupons in free standing inserts like your Sunday Newspaper Inserts, digital couponing is rising from previous years. {Stats via NCH Marketing.) Digital couponing and apps allow you to save money without the hassle of clipping or printing anything!
Here’s a peak into my money saving apps that I use…
Favado: This fantastic app will help you save at the grocery store, drug stores, and mass retailers including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Meijer, and more. The app matches up the best deals at the grocery store with any offers out there including printable coupons, rebates, eCoupons, and other promotions. You can also compare prices across the app to find the best price on milk in your area.
Receipt Hog: Snap your receipts and earn rewards no matter where you shop or what you buy. You can redeem your rewards via Paypal or Amazon gift cards.
BerryCart: Submit receipts to earn cash back on select healthy products.
Walmart: Walmart makes it easy to price match with Savings Catcher. Submit your receipts. If Savings Catcher finds an advertised price that is lower than what you paid for the exact item at Walmart, you will get back the difference on a Walmart Rewards eGift Card.
SavingStar allows you to “clip” eCoupons and link your account to participating store loyalty cards. Shop at your store and buy the selected item. Your reward will show up in your SavingStar account within 2-22 days.
Target Cartwheel allows you to save up to 30% off items you purchase at Target. Target Cartwheel savings are on top of coupons and sales which allows you to combine multiple ways to save to save even more!
Checkout 51 is an app that helps you save at the grocery store. Choose the offers you want to buy, take a picture of your receipt before the expiration date, and you will earn cash for purchasing them!
Ibotta is a cool app that will save you money at the grocery store, retail stores, and even the movies. First you will need to download the Ibotta app. Then you will submit your receipts for specified items in the app to earn a rebate back with submittal. The process is normally very fast. Cash out with a $5 minimum to Paypal or choose other rewards such as Starbucks gift cards, Redbox movie rentals, and more. New ways to save are being added all the time. Available for iOs and Android.
Shopmium is another one to submit your receipts via the app to earn cash back.
Cardstar is one of my favorite apps! This app allows you to store all your loyalty cards in one place. This one saves me the most money because I don’t have to carry around a keychain full of tags and I always have my phone with me so I always have my loyalty cards with me. You can also sync the app among multiple devices, which means my entire family also has these loyalty cards at their fingertips!
